Safety Procedures
This may be the most important factor of the whole ride! It is important to dress safely. Wear a helmet and reflective clothing. Reflective vests will be provided to you at check-in, if needed. If you prefer to wear your own vest it must be approved by an ALA staff member prior to departure. An ANSI/Snell or CPSC approved helmet is required. No one can ride if they do not have a helmet. RIDE SINGLE FILE at all times. It is a hazard to yourselves, other participants and vehicles when you ride abreast. There are many volunteers such as SAG drivers and Ride Leaders that have the authority to take someone off the road if they feel they are not riding safely. DO NOT ride with earphones in. This is a hazard to yourself as you will not hear traffic or other participants passing you. And you may not be able to hear important information that may be given by someone on the support team.
Rest Stops
All rest stops will be fully stocked with hot and cold water, snacks, and port-a-potties.
